What's on the Ballot ?

VOTE ON TUESDAY!
Here’s how I voted...(used absentee ballot. )  ellen
Mayor:  Mallory

Council:  (I only voted for the 4 progressive incumbents plus Bernadette Watson who has a great chance, rather than 9.  Not crazy about the other 4 Dem. Nominees.)
Roxanne Qualls
Greg Harris
Cecil Thomas
Laketa Cole
Bernadette Watson

School Bd:
   Catherine Ingram
    Lisa Schare
    Joyce Hooks
    Jason Haap (green party candidate).  Or you might prefer Ceair Baggett, the other Dem nominee)

Issue 1: (to provide small bonuses for veterans of recent wars)  NO
Issue 2: (constitutional ammendment to set up agriculture regulatory board; scam of the corporate agribusinesses): NO

Issue 3: to allow cassinos in Ohio: Cinti, Cols., and Cleveland.  (I voted Yes, but weakly)

Issue 4:  tax levy: welfare dept:  YES
Issue 5: tax levy, mental retardation board:  YES
Issue 6: tax levy for Museum Center:  YES
Issue 7: tax levy for library: YES

Issue 8: charter amendment to prohibit city council from selling off our water works, which would be a stupid idea, like eating up all your seed corn because you are hungry today.  So I voted YES.

Issue 9: charter amendment to prohibit city council from making decisions about street car, light rail, other passenger transportation systems.  Cumbersome to make such decisions by referendum; plus I have been persuaded to support street car.  So vote NO

Issue 52:  Yes for the School Levy
